    This week we've got a wide variety of questions in Ask TUAW.

As always, please leave your questions for next week in the comments.

    Now on to the show!

  • iMovie '08

    Filed under: ,



    iMovie '08 has been completely rewritten from the ground up, at least that's what Steve said at today's media event. Let's take a look at some of the new features:

    New Icon

    Initially this will be the most visible change, that is until you launch the app. The icon has been changed because the app itself is so different. Makes sense to me.

    Video Library

    This is a big change. iMovie has gone from a simple editing program to a catalog of all the video on your Mac, no matter where it is stored. That's right, iMovie will display movies that are on your machine's hard disk or on an external drive. Pretty cool. You can also mark clips as favorites, so you can quickly navigate to your go to clips. Taking a cue from iPhoto '08, iMovie also has Events (it automatically groups clips taken on the same day together).

    General Enhancements

    I know this might seem like a cop out, but the real genius in iMovie '08 isn't the laundry list of new features, but rather how they combine to make movie making faster. The new Video Library uses skimming (think of that is scrubbing through a video clip, but without having to open it in a different viewer) to make setting in and out points a breeze. New transitions, effects, and realtime title rendering also help to make your video go from concept to screen (big, medium, or small screen) in a snap. Sharing has never been easier either. iMovie allows you to upload you completed masterpiece to YouTube, or your .Mac account with a few clicks.

  • Thursday night 9:30 ET: TUAW talkcast the second

    Filed under:

    If you joined us for our first live talkcast last week, you heard an earful about the iPhone experiences of our intrepid crew, and many of you were able to join in with your comments and questions via the magic of the Talkshoe platform. We had so much fun, we're doing it again this week. Join us Thursday evening at 9:30 pm ET for a half-hour or so of conversation about -- hmm, I dunno -- we'll come up with something -- with bloggers David Chartier, Scott McNulty, and Chris Ullrich.

    To participate, you'll need to sign up at Talkshoe ahead of time and (if you want to be able to join the text chat or ask live questions) download the Java client. If you aren't at your computer, you can still call in with any phone or VoIP client as long as you're registered at Talkshoe. If you can't be with us live, the recorded file should be available in our iTunes feed on Friday.

  • Open Apple no more

    Filed under: , ,



    When we first wrote about the then rumored new Apple keyboard old time Mac users discounted it as a fake because of one little detail: no Open Apple on the Command key. That's the Apple logo that which, until today, appeared on the Command key.

    Sadly, it is true that the Apple logo has been banished from the keyboard, replaced with the much more useful label 'command.' At least this will help Mac support folks educate their users ('You want me to look for an Apple key?! That doesn't even make sense. Remind me again why I called the Help Desk!'), but I'll miss that little Apple logo. Call me old fashioned if you like, but Open Apple will always have a fond place in my heart and I'm not afraid to admit it.

    [This post was inspired, in part, by John Siracusa's tweet.]

  • Apple posts iLife '08 tutorials

    Filed under: ,

    Sure, it isn't a 30 day demo, but these iLife '08 tutorials give you a very nice overview of what the various apps can and can't do (and how they do and don't do 'em). The short videos are very task oriented, as you would expect with tutorials, and best of all they are free.

    Check them out, and see what iLife '08 has to offer.

    Oh, and can someone explain to me why I need to go to a store and buy physical CD's to get iLife? Apple is one of the world's largest distributors of digital music, and I am pretty sure they can handle digital distribution of software as well. Ah, another mystery of the universe.

  • iPhoto '08

    Filed under: ,



    We know that not everyone is as obsessed about Apple news as we are, so we're going be going through each updated app in iWork '08 and iLife '08 to highlight some of the big ticket new features. We're already done this for iWeb and Garageband, and now it is iPhoto in the spotlight (haha, get it?). Here we go:

    Events

    Events is the feature that his Steveness spent the most time on during his presentation. The idea is that since you are usually taking pictures at an event, iPhoto should be smart enough to group them together for you, which has the side benefit of allowing you to browse your photos that much faster. Each Event (notice the capital E) has one picture that represents it, which you can choose. These Events, in turn, make up a new iPhoto view that shows you each Event (as seen above). When you hover the Event you can 'skim' through the photos to see the individual photos that much up that Event. You can also split up the generated Events, in case iPhoto doesn't group the photos correctly

    Searching

    I don't know about you, but I have given up on organizing my digital files. Search is my crutch, and luckily search is much improved in iPhoto '08. iPhoto 6's search is capable, but it just gives you one way to look at the results. New in iPhoto is highly organized search results, as seen to the right. This is going to save me lots of time.
